P-Funk & Boogie
The mothership landed and the bass never quit.
Tear the roof off. George Clinton's P-Funk empire and the early-'80s boogie that grew out of it — talkbox bass, horn stabs, and grooves so deep they'd be sampled into the next two decades of hip-hop. Parliament, Zapp, Cameo, and the Gap Band running the dance floor.
